The MAGA coalition is cracking

Mark,
Something is shifting, and it is becoming increasingly clear that the coalition that carried Trump back to power is already showing deep and growing fractures.
Donald Trump’s approval ratings continue sinking as the consequences of his agenda become impossible to ignore. The policies he promised would lower costs are doing the opposite, his decisions are creating instability at home and abroad, and voters who once gave him the benefit of the doubt are beginning to reconsider in ways that are showing up not just in polling, but in the broader political environment.
What we are seeing right now is not a small shift at the margins. It is a growing fracture across the coalition that made his victory possible.
Even some of Trump’s most visible supporters are now openly expressing frustration, pointing to broken promises and decisions that run counter to what they were told to expect. His decision to launch a deeply unpopular war with Iran has triggered visible infighting in the Republican Party and the wider MAGA-aligned ecosystem, exposing gaping divides.
Tensions are escalating across multiple fronts, including immigration, economic policy, and the administration’s failure to follow through on commitments around transparency and accountability around the Epstein files. The result is a coalition that is losing groups of voters who made the difference in 2024.
Moderates are stepping back. Independents are turning away. Even some once-reliable supporters are beginning to disengage.
This is the kind of political environment that creates a real opportunity to shift the balance of power in Washington and in states across the country, especially with the midterms approaching and control of Congress on the line.
But opportunity on its own is not enough to win.
Right now, Republicans and their allies are vastly outraising Democrats, pouring massive sums into the races that will decide control of Congress and key down-ballot offices. They understand exactly what is at stake, and they are investing early and aggressively to lock in their advantage before the political landscape shifts further against them.
We cannot afford to fall behind at a moment like this.
At the same time that this opportunity is opening up, we are currently running behind our own fundraising goal, and if that gap continues, it will force real constraints on the programs, organizing, and electoral investments we can make in the months ahead.
That is how winnable elections slip away.
That is how momentum gets lost.
And that is exactly what Republicans are counting on.
An anonymous People For donor has stepped up with a $200,000 match to help us close this gap and ensure we have the resources to compete at the level this moment demands. Every dollar you give will be doubled, allowing us to scale our efforts, reach more voters, and compete in the races that will determine the direction of this country.
If there were ever a moment where your support could have an immediate and meaningful impact, it is right now, when the political environment is shifting but the outcome is still very much in play.
